Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good and bad, of two ways to treat patients with standard-risk symptomatic multiple myeloma. Patients with standard-risk myeloma have myeloma with specific features: levels of 2 blood tests have to be in a specific range and there can be no myeloma tumors found outside of the bones or bone marrow, the areas where myeloma is usually discovered. In past clinical studies, patients with standard-risk myeloma have done well with intensive therapy in the form of stem cell transplant. But multiple myeloma is not curable and, although it may respond to standard treatments including stem cell transplant, myeloma always recurs.
